Roshan Rahain is a young organization led by creative individuals working to bring a change on how children are being taught and how different forms of art could be integrated in the teaching methodology. They will be organizing Pakistan’s first ever Music Festival for Children & Families in Lahore. The aim of the festival is to show how music can improve understanding, comprehension and confidence of children; the festival will provide children a platform to showcase their talent and a fun day for families at the venue.

Speaking about the idea behind the festival, Shaigan Azhar, CEO/Director of Roshan Rahain states, “The Music Festival is going to happen bi-annually so that we reach out to maximum children and families alike. The festival is going to become a rich platform where children from different disciplines, backgrounds can find a reason for creation, collaboration, exchange and creative expression about music.”
